In the 7th minute, Townsend faced the Earthquakes' goalkeeper John Busch on a one-on-one but Busch blocked and controlled the ball to take away Townsend’s goal opportunity. Five minutes later, Angel received and controlled the ball, headed it to Townsend who immediately shot, but Busch was attentive and deflected the ball for a corner kick.

The first goal came in the 27th minute through San Jose forward Chris Wondolowski, who attacked from the left side, entered the box with the ball assisted by Shea Salinas, and with a left-footed shot, beat Dan Kennedy who dove to his left but the ball went into the back of the net.

In the 52nd minute, a corner kick by Salinas went to the far post where midfielder Marvin Chavez deflected the ball to Ramiro Corrales, whose header found defender Justin Morrow who headed the ball inside Kennedy's net for the second goal in for the Earthquakes.
